Conclusion

Interest and Talent Identifier Application that we create can be used for the high school students at 12^th grade or the public who wish to continue education in college. This software can assist them in determining what major they would choose at college. This software works according to user input and the software will determine what major fits the interests and talents.

Our project consists of input, process and output. Depending on user input to the process when opening the software, users will be faced with the question 'What are the subjects that you like' you have available choices of subjects. Then users are asked to enter a choice of subjects he likes best.

When the users put one option, then the users will be faced with more detail question about the subjects most preferred by the user. After that, the output is what major results that best match with the users’s interests and talents.

Result

            Interest and Talent Identifier Application’s display program :

First when you run  the software, users will be faced with the question 'What is the lessons that you like?'. There are many subjects and users can make choice about the subject that she/he likes the most. Then users are asked to enter a choice of subjects he likes best.

When users put one option, then the output that comes out is as follows:

1.        Mathematics

When the users chose mathematics as her/his favorite subject, the users are faced with more detailed questions about what she/he likes best in the mathematical sciences.

 When the user has entered a more specific input, then the search results will automatically come out

The Implementation of Idea

This program can be used for high school students who want to study in college. When he/she is confused about what department he/she will take, he/she can use this program. This program is the solution of his/her problem.

We use java programming language in this program because it is easy to implement this program in java language programming. We use “switch-case” in the algorithm because “switch-case” is implemented for choice. User will choose a choice every a question in this program. The sentence that user chose will determine the output.

The algorithm is user chooses a general choice in a general question. After that, the program will display the specific question. When there is no more question, the program will display the output.

The source code :

Software  Design Ideas

This software created based java and was created using netbeans. We make this application by making certain questions, after that every question would link to the other questions. There are some spesific questions about one of subject at high school. After that the system will display its advice and direction that we think is most appropriate.

In our software, we used switch case consep which  on Discrete Mathematics lessons to make decision of the questions or statements we have made. For example: "What lesson do you prefer?" Suppose you choose Maths, it will come out the next question. "Which of the following do you prefer?" Suppose you choose Finance. Then it would come out like this. "You fit in majoring in Accounting, and try more memeahami of Economics. “Thank you for trying our software ".

Literature Review

Today, there are psychological tests to determine the interest and talent of high school students who will continue their studies in college. Various kinds of innovations developed psychological tests along with the times. These tests include psychological tests of intelligence (IQ), aptitude tests and interest tests. Intelligence tests (IQ) is intended to measure general intelligence ability to learn to understand the problem - new problems and solve them properly. This aptitude test aims to find a strong indication of the weakness of a person on a particular area of ​​expertise. The test aims to measure of interest what kind of work that desired by someone. But these psychological tests have some disadvantage, the psychological test end expensive cost and the results are not necessarily satisfactory.

Introduction

1.1 Background

Most of senior high school student want to continue their next education (university). So, they must have a goal of what major to take in college. But most of high school students are confused about what major that they take in college. It is considered very difficult because most of these high school students do not yet know for certain self-interests and talents, lack of information related to education in college and the large number of departments that have sprung up in college.

If they just have a little bit information of majors in university, they will  choose tend to obey what their parents choice. Or maybe they will affect their friends or just by their feeling. Taking a wrong decision will lead them to a fatal impact later when they entered to the college such as lazy learning achievement declined, quit college or drop out are very harmful to himself.

For solve this problem , the high school students can try psychologies test to know what is their interested and talented. In general, the results of that psychologies test showed that match your interests and talents with the subject are taken at the college someday.
So, this program is important for every student who will continue their studies in university.

1.2 Problem Statement

The problem staemens that arranged on the problems written on the background are:

1)         What is software can help the high school students to make a choice of majors in college ?

2)         How is the implementation of Discrete Mathematics concept in this application to help make he choice of majors in college ?

1.3 Objectives

Abstract

In every year, when some student who study in 12^th grade , they also difficult to choose themajors in collage, for their next destination of education. The most causes for this problem is they don’t know their interested and talented.

            There are many ways they do to find the solutions of this problem, such as : asking to their counseling teachers or asking someone else who more know.

            Base on that problem, we felt that technology can solved that problem. So, we try to help by making software to determine interested and talented by online.

            This software is created by using netbeans program. We use switch case which in discrete mathematics for make a decision from questions or statements that we have  made. We make this application with a certain question which is connected with another specific question. After that, the output of our program is the most appropriate majors.
